Further, it is an attempt to explore the present condition that exists in these institutions (Self-financed) in terms of their infrastructural facilities, student enrolment, teaching staff with their qualifications and salary of the teachers thereof. This study has been conducted on 20 self-financed colleges from the various districts of West Bengal such as Purulia, Bankura, Midnapore, Murshidabad and Nadia etc. and 45 teachers were selected from these same institutions. For the data collection, the researcher carried out two separate data sheets developed by the authors. One of them was associated with the institutional basic information viz. institution type, student enrolment and infrastructural facilities etc. Another was associated with teachers’ qualifications, salaries and opinions regarding their job satisfaction etc. In the conclusion, it is found that few owners came from different business fields and they invested their money to earn effortlessly in the field of teacher education. 74.35% of the owners of these institutions belong to the businessmen spectrum ranging from rice mill owners, medical representatives to gold dealers etc. Teachers, politicians are also directly or indirectly involved in this. In most of cases, owners themselves, as well as their family members hold various positions in their own institutions as secretaries, principals, trustee members etc. At the end, the researcher asked to the teachers as to how satisfied they were with their jobs, most of the respondents replied that they were not satisfied with their service. Thus, they freely expressed the reasons e.g. their financial tribulations due to the nominal remuneration provided by the private institutions.

  • Low Mean & High Variance: Quality of Primary Education in Rural West Bengal
    A STUDY SUPPORTED BY THE SIR RATAN TATA TRUST Low Mean & High Variance: Quality of Primary Education in Rural West Bengal JYOTSNA JALAN with Jharna Panda CENTRE FOR STUDIES IN SOCIAL SCIENCES, CALCUTTA Low Mean & High Variance: Quality of Primary Education in Rural West Bengal JYOTSNA JALAN with Jharna Panda CENTRE FOR STUDIES IN SOCIAL SCIENCES, CALCUTTA 2010 Director’s Message Since Independence, the focus of government interventions in primary education has been on increasing access to schools. Today net primary school enrollments in India are over ninety percent. Even in very remote areas of India, it is likely that there is a primary school. But whether these schools are functioning efficiently or whether children are learning in these schools is another matter. The Right to Education 2009 bill is also largely silent about the quality of education that is to be provided to children 6•14 years. Only indirect references are made regarding steps to improve the quality of primary education. Scattered evidence on learning achievements of primary school students indicates very low knowledge levels. Time has come to move beyond strategies to increase enrollments and to focus attention on the quality of learning in schools. This timely report provides rigorous evidence from rural West Bengal on the quality of learning in primary school and its correlates at different levels: students, households, schools, local communities, and school administration. The research shows that learning achievements in numeracy and language skills are very low among Class IV students (terminal year in primary school in West Bengal). Yet there is substantial heterogeneity across districts, administrative blocks and schools, and among people belonging to different socio-economic groups.

No.: 200405139N1ASDN https://doi.org/10.37948/ensemble-2021-0202-a010 ASSESSMENT AND ACCREDITATION STATUS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL: AN ANALYSIS Niladri Pradhan1 Abstract: The primary goal of this research is to examine and compare the overall quality of higher education institutions' results. In terms of research methodology, it falls under the category of descriptive comparative status studies. In the state of West Bengal, 218 colleges affiliated with seven universities were purposefully chosen as samples. The data is analysed using qualitative statistical methods such as percentages and graphical representations. It was discovered that 43.26 percent of colleges received a B score. It's also worth noting that 1.08 percent and 3.57 percent of colleges affiliated with Calcutta University and Vidyasagar University, respectively, have earned A++ and A+ accreditation. On the one hand, colleges affiliated with four universities (Burdwan University, North Bengal University, West Bengal State University, and Kalyani University) have received A, B++, B+, B to C grades, while colleges affiliated with two universities (Calcutta University and Vidyasagar University) have received A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B to C grades. As a result of the results, it is possible to infer that many colleges' success levels in terms of quality are not up to par.

  • Chapterv Education Policy in West Bengal
    153 CHAPTERV EDUCATION POLICY IN WEST BENGAL - A CONTEMPORARY ANALYSIS Agenda on Education: The West Bengal Scenario I Close on the heels of our Independence, the 'School Education Committee" was set up in 1948 under the Chairmanship of the then Education Minister Sri Harendra Nath Chowdhuri to bring in comprehensive reforms at various levels of School Education. The syllabus that this Committee framed in 1950 with an eye to bring about radical change in the curriculum of primary education was adopted as syllabus for the primary school level. Although his syllabus was not totally consistent with the principles of primary education, it however, reflected the fundamental ideas of the child-centered education in general. This syllabus in almost unchanged form had been in vogue for long twenty four years at the level of primary and lower basic school. To meet the needs of the time and the demands of the changed social context, the Education Department of the West Bengal Government formed the "Primary Education Syllabus Committee" in 1974. "The purpose of this committee was to modernize the syllabus and give it a realistic bias. In fact, this Syllabus Committee took up it work in 1977 as per Government Order [No.1334-E DN (P) dt. 13.11.1976, No. 1000-E DN (P), dt. 10.09.1997, No. 159-E DN (P), dt. 1.2.1978 and No. 1251-E DN (P), dt. 30.6.1978] following the installation of the present Government the Committee started its work in full sing"t.
